Keywords:
A Year Without "Made in China" provides you with a thought--provoking and thoroughly entertaining account of how the most populous nation on Earth influences almost every aspect of our daily lives. Drawing on her years as an award--winning journalist, author Sara Bongiorni fills this book with engaging stories and anecdotes of her familya s attempt to outrun Chinaa s reach--by boycotting Chinese made products--and does a remarkable job of taking a decidedly big--picture issue and breaking it down to a personal level.

Recenzijas

"...an interesting sideways glance at the personal effects of globalism..." (Publishers Weekly, August 6, 2007) "a wry look at the ingenuity it takes to shun the planeta s fastest--growing economy." (Bloomberg News, Tues 31st July 2007) "The Westa s dependence on Chinese exports was neatly summed up" (The Telegraph, Sunday 12th August 2007) "What the year--long experiment did achieve, was to switch on Bongiorni as a consumer." (Financial Times, Saturday 25th August) "...a fascinating and entertaining look at just how much of a challenge [ ...a...] consumer faces...to avoid buying Chinese goods." (Supply Management, Thursday 31st January 2008)
